context_page_description: Nuneham Courtenay is a village and civil parish about 5 miles southeast of Oxford; it occupies a pronounced section of left bank of the River Thames.
context_section_description: The rectory and manor house used to accompany a small village with medieval parish church standing on the most sudden part of the village's river bluff, all with a westward view over the River Thames. The manor house may have dated from the 16th century. The 1st Earl demolished the house, medieval church, and 'tumble-down clay-built' cottages of the village,  and built a new parish church with an entirely new Nuneham Courtenay village almost 1 mile (1.6 km) north east to make way for his planned English style landscape park and new Nuneham House.
